I watched the version you posted. Do you know why they dubbed it? The titles are in English and the actors seem to be mouthing English. Were their accents so bad that they felt they needed to dub it out? I found it very distracting and detracting from an otherwise fine version.

quote:Les Misérables was a seven-part radio series broadcast July 23–September 3, 1937 (Fridays at 10 p.m. ET), on the Mutual Network. Orson Welles adapted Victor Hugo's novel, directed the series and starred as Jean Valjean. The 22-year-old Welles developed the idea of telling stories with first-person narration on the series, which was his first job as a writer-director for radio. Les Misérables was one of Welles's earliest and finest achievements on radio, and marked the radio debut of the Mercury Theatre.
